Catholicterp7 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 [quote name='ToJesusMyHeart' timestamp='1353790551' post='2516063'] Just for future reference, which airport would someone likely fly into if coming to visit them? [/quote] I would think you would want to fly into Columbus. I'm not sure though, because when I do go I'll be driving with some friends. I know that they do quite a bit of work in Columbus and they're not that far from the city so it wouldn't be hard for them to pick someone up. JMJ+
DameAgnes Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 They have new novices! http://www.childrenofmary.net/news.shtml
Kayte Postle Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Got to have adoration and evening prayer with these sisters tonight, and got to talk to Mother. They just had another postulant enter, and they have two more that will be entering by summers end. That's five postulants total for this summer! Mother said that they are out of beds (a good problem to have)!
nikita92 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I had no problem with viewing it from the link provided. Also, I noticed that the one postulant Sr. Marianne appears to be a "Mature" woman. I wonder what their age cutoff is???
Kayte Postle Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) There is no set age limit, "we discern with each individual if the Lord them here or not". Also, Sr. Marianne is now Sr Bernadette Marie, she made first vows just this March! =) (The sisters don't update the photos on their website all that often). Edited August 13, 2013 by Kayte Postle

The community was already listed on my belatedvocations.weebly.com webpage. ;)
krissylou Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 The community was already listed on my belatedvocations.weebly.com webpage. ;) Nothing gets past Mater, Queen of the Researchers!!!
abrideofChrist Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 How close is this community to becoming a religious institute? They are listed under "lay movements" in the Diocese of Columbus website.
OnlySunshine Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 How close is this community to becoming a religious institute? They are listed under "lay movements" in the Diocese of Columbus website. They do have a lay association with their order. It's called Torchbearers of the Queen, I believe. They also have Ora et Labora days for lay people to come and serve during certain times of the year. I think they are still working with the Bishop on becoming a formal religious institute. Obviously, they still have several years to go before being able to seek Diocesan or Pontifical Right status. :)

But yes, they are still technically a lay association, when I spoke to Mother Margaret Mary on Tuesday she mentioned that they are currently in the process of submitting their Rule and Constitution to the Bishop.

Oh, dear! I am sorry for the misinformation. I think I was getting them confused with another order. :blush: BTW, are they a public association of the faithful or still private? I only ask to keep things consistent on my website for belated vocations. I've decided not to list any communities that are still in the private phase. :) Edited August 16, 2013 by MaterMisericordiae

I'd love to keep these beautiful Sisters on my list so I'm hoping they are a public association. ;)
